House Fires in Pennsylvania 

Residential fires take place every single day in Pennsylvania. Though some are quickly brought under control by fire crews, others blaze out of control and lead to extensive damage. Some fires lead to fatalities for those involved. In 2020, it was reported that approximately six people were killed out of every 1,000 fires throughout Pennsylvania. Losing somebody you love in a house fire or a commercial fire can be a devastating thing to experience. This is why families are urged to speak with an attorney who has previously handled these types of accidents.
